“2011 Plan”- Collaborative Innovation Center of Judicial Civilization Hosts the International Conference on Facts and Evidence: A Dialogue Between Philosophy and Law in Shanghai

On May 28th and 29th, 2016, the “2011 Plan”-Collaborative Innovation Center of Judicial Civilization and East China Normal University Department of Philosophy and School of Law cohosted the International Conference on Facts and Evidence: A Dialogue Between Philosophy and Law, in Shanghai. The goal of the ICFE is to promote academic exchanges on the evidence law concept of “facts and evidence” between legal scholars and philosophical scholars. About 40 scholars, who are from China, the U.S., Norway, Australia, Italy, Singapore, and Sweden, delivered speeches and joined panel discussions at the conference. The ICFE not only sets up a stage that allows Chinese scholars spreading their ideas to the international academic community, but also starts a innovative research methodology by inviting the philosophical perspective in furthering the study of law. The distinguished speakers delivered their speeches in ten panels at the conference. Scholars at the conference expect future opportunities to engage more interdisciplinary discussions on evidence law.
